The answer to your question is fully documented in the manual, in the
section on spooling.
Briefly though, no, you do not have to have sufficient space to hold all
your backup data; you can allocate a smaller amount of space. When the
spool fills up to the high-water mark, it will pause data from the first
client and begin despooling that client's data to tape. When it hits
the low-water mark, it will pause writing to tape and resume data from
the client. All client data will be paused until space is available
again if the allocated spool space fills up. If any single job finishes
spooling before the high-water mark is reached, that job will begin
despooling to tape immediately.
